The buzz around the golfing industry is How Long is Too Long for your golf shaft. Most experts agree that having a longer shaft can and does improve your golf game. More and more golfers are reaching past 45 inches in shaft length.
The benefit to golfers is believed to be a fast swing speed. The longer the shaft the bigger the radius. The larger the radius the faster the head of the club will strike the ball. Of course, with a higher club contact speed the further the golf ball will travel.
